erudunce

An individual whose command of the English language, or lack thereof, is so thoroughly challenged that he or she has a propensity for mangling words consisting of greater than one syllable, sometimes but not always in a conscious attempt to appear far more intelligent than he or she really is. A contraction of the words "erudite" and "dunce."

When George W. Bush claimed that they "misunderestimated me," he gave himself away as an erudunce.

When the late Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago claimed that "The police are not there to create disorder...The police are there to preserve disorder," he proved himself to be an erudunce.

Humaliate

To crassly subject your sometimes unknowing wife to abusive ridicule by forcing or allowing her to publicly defend your lying to her about your sexual misdeeds, as practiced by Anthony Weiner, Elliott Spitzer, Bill Clinton, Mark Sanford, Jim McGreevy and a veritable plethora of other elected officials on both sides of the aisle. "Both sides of the aisle" may be defined variously, as the specific circumstances of each case may dictate.

Anthony Weiner, along with a seemingly endless array of philandering politicians, would HUMALIATE his wife, Huma Abedin by repeatedly placing and embarrassing her in front of television cameras while continuing to lie to her and the public about his sexting and beneath contempt, twisted sexual escapades.
